If you have ever heard of the legendary Chef Warren Leruth, you know he was extraordinary and incredibly accomplished. Among many other things, and small in comparison to his overall legacy, he is credited for revolutionizing the food scene in New Orleans in the mid-60’s.
Leruth began his career as a food chemist and over the course of his life never stopped perfecting his one-of-a-kind and highly regarded vanilla extract. He was the youngest ever elected to the Honorable Golden Toques, the highest acclaimed recognition a chef can receive in America; and his achievements as a baker, a restaurateur, and for his work in industrial test kitchens put him on the map as a culinary genius.
